We had one cat with hyperthyroidism and we did the one time iodine treatment,
brought him home 4 days later and he has been great ever since. We did not

That is especially true of my Harley, he will chase, catch and eat anything

jumped and hit his head on the ceiling. I didn't see if he caught the moth, I

Actually, a lot of ferals live on/supplement with insects. We don't have
water bugs inside here, but I've seen them around, so the cats must be

They do eat by-products when they eat the whole prey, but they are getting
all the rest, too, which they don't get with just by-products (where the
good stuff has been taken out for human consumption). By-products contain
much less nutrition and are often indigestible. Note that cats also get

Remember, rabbits don't produce Taurine the way cats don't, so if you feed
rabbits again, add Taurine. Cats died in studies where they were only fed
rabbit.
I have forgotten to get meat out of the freezer, but put it in a plastic

We went the "good food" route and were feeding everyone Blue for a long time
and everyone kept throwing up (A LOT) so we went back to Purina Complete and
everyone seems happy, there is no more throwing up and they are healthy. Our
